The campaign created belief in The Economist, positioning the publication that enables readers to have more insight about global current affairs. Cape Public Relations achieved significant national, sector and trade media profile for The Economist and continues to build the brand's profile in Australia through a range of strategies.

The campaign initially reached city workers and, in addition to traditional media, included the innovative use of Bluetooth technology, enabling mobile phone users who pass designated poster panels to download Economist content in digital format to their phone.
